Ahsoka Learns Anakin Skywalker's Strangest Technique

Summary

Ahsoka Tano inherits Anakin Skywalker's tendency for taking inadvisable action, particularly demonstrated by her jumping out of a moving vehicle.

Ahsoka's skill in leaping out of a ship in mid-flight on Peridea reflects Anakin's equally audacious maneuver in Attack of the Clones.

Both Anakin and Ahsoka shared a strong bond with their respective ship pilots, Obi-Wan and Huyang, who expressed worry and disapproval over their daring actions.

Ahsoka Tano inherited one of Anakin Skywalker's most daring maneuvers in Star Wars - and it wasn't spinning. When Anakin took Ahsoka as his Padawan during the Clone Wars, it was crucial for her to learn how to handle perilous situations. Anakin's training occurred during a time of peace, but his intense and reckless nature made things more challenging for his master than necessary. Although Ahsoka was not as extreme as a Padawan, she did display a similar inclination towards risky actions.

Over time, she became more mellow, but traces of Anakin's sharp-tongued apprentice were always present in Ahsoka's behavior. This is particularly evident in Ahsoka, where she reunites with Anakin through the World Between Worlds to learn a final lesson. After this experience, Ahsoka's demeanor noticeably lightens as she transforms into Ahsoka the White. On her journey to the extragalactic world of Peridea, she accomplishes a feat that her old master once performed ridiculously.

Ahsoka & Anakin Like To Jump Out Of Moving Vehicles

Upon reaching the unfolding battle on Peridea alongside Huyang, Ahsoka finds herself pursued by Thrawn's fighters. Aware that Sabine and Ezra require aid but unable to land her ship, Ahsoka's quick thinking leads her to execute a maneuver reminiscent of Anakin Skywalker's audacious antics: she leaps out of the vessel while it's still in motion. Although her landing is far from graceful, requiring her to tumble along the ground before eventually coming to a halt, the display is undeniably impressive. Equally remarkable is Anakin's own feat in Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones, when he effortlessly vaults what feels like a mile from a speeder on Coruscant, flawlessly timing his collision with Zam Wessel's vehicle.

Huyang & Obi-Wan Have Seen Enough Of The Jumps

In the seventh episode of Ahsoka, the connection between the titular character and her mentor, Anakin, is foreshadowed from the very beginning. Ahsoka's training session with Anakin's hologram serves as a powerful reminder that she not only learned how to fight from him, but also acquired knowledge and skills beyond just combat techniques. This becomes crucial later on when Ahsoka utilizes some unconventional tactics that she picked up from her master, ultimately enabling her to rescue her own student in the nick of time.

In order for Anakin or Ahsoka to engage in daring acts like jumping from a vehicle, someone else must be in control of the ship. Anakin's mentor, Obi-Wan Kenobi, often took on this role. Anakin's impulsive leap from the speeder in Attack of the Clones did not sit well with his master, who muttered, "I hate it when he does that." This risky maneuver was certainly not the first time Anakin had acted in such a manner, although the consequences speak for themselves.

Ahsoka and Huyang share a similar bond, with Huyang acting as a knowledgeable companion rather than a traditional mentor to the former Jedi. Ahsoka confidently grabs her cloak, knowing that she doesn't even need to explain what she is about to do before Huyang exclaims, "Not this again!". Their playful conversation reveals that they have attempted this trick before, but it was less successful due to a timing issue on Huyang's part. Anakin and Ahsoka have become one of the most adored master and apprentice pairs in the Star Wars universe, and it is their shared excitement for daring actions like jumping out of safe aircraft that highlights the deep connection they have.
